Wish you all Indians A Happy Republic Day

Though India became a free nation on August 15, 1947, it declared itself a Sovereign, Democratic and Republic state with the adoption of the Constitution on January 26, 1950. India achieved independence from British rule on 15 August 1947 following the Indian independence movement noted for largely peaceful nonviolent resistance and civil disobedience led by the Indian National Congress. The independence came through the Indian Independence Act 1947 (10 & 11 Geo 6 c. 30), an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that partitioned British India into the two new independent Dominions of the British Commonwealth (later Commonwealth of Nations): India and Pakistan.

India obtained its independence on 15 August 1947 as a constitutional monarchy with George VI as head of state and the Earl Mountbatten as governor-general. The country, though, did not yet have a permanent constitution; instead its laws were based on the modified colonial Government of India Act 1935. On 28 August 1947, the Drafting Committee was appointed to draft a permanent constitution, with Dr.B. R. Ambedkar as chairman.

While India's Independence Day celebrates its freedom from British Rule, the Republic Day celebrates of coming into force of its constitution. A draft constitution was prepared by the committee and submitted to the Assembly on 4 November 1947.

The Assembly met, in sessions open to public, for 166 days, spread over a period of 2 years, 11 months and 18 days before adopting the Constitution. After many deliberations and some modifications, the 308 members of the Assembly signed two hand-written copies of the document (one each in Hindi and English) on 24 January 1950. Two days later, it came into effect throughout the nation.

It’s an unprecedented gesture toward an American president and one that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi
hopes will intensify the diplomatic outreach in a bilateral
relationship that at times has fallen far short of both countries’
hopes. Never has a U.S. leader been the chief guest at the Republic Day parade, the centerpiece of India’s
national day celebrations. So the invitation to President Obama, whose
three-day visit to the world’s biggest democracy begins Sunday, assumes
significance for U.S.-Indian ties and for the aggressive diplomacy Mr. Modi has adopted since becoming prime minister in May. More

India got its freedom on 15 August 1947 as a sacred
government with George VI as head of state and the Earl Mountbatten as
representative general. The nation, however, did not yet have a
perpetual constitution; rather its laws were focused around the changed
pioneer Government of India Act 1935. On 28 August 1947, the Drafting
Committee was selected to draft a changeless constitution, with Dr.b. R.
Ambedkar as executive.

While India's Independence Day praises its
flexibility from British Rule, the Republic Day celebrates of coming
into power of its constitution. The main Republic Day celebration is
held in the national capital, New Delhi, at the Rajpath before the
President of India. On this day, ceremonious parades take place at the
Rajpath, which are performed as a tribute to India.

Republic Day honours the date on which the Constitution of India
came into force on 26 January 1950 replacing the Government of India Act
(1935) as the governing document of India.

The Constitution was passed by the Constituent Assembly of India
on 26 November 1949 but was adopted on 26 January 1950 with a
democratic government system, completing the country's transition toward
becoming an independent republic.
26 January was selected for this purpose because it was this day in
1930 when the Declaration of Indian Independence (Purna Swaraj) was
proclaimed by the Indian National Congress.

To mark is held in the capital, New Delhi, from the Raisina Hill
near the Rashtrapati Bhavan (the President's residence), along the
Rajpath, past India Gate. Prior to its commencement, the Prime Minister
lays a floral wreath at the Amar Jawan Jyoti, a memorial to unknown soldiers at the India Gate
at one end of Rajpath, which is followed by two minutes silence in the
memory of unknown soldiers.

It is a solemn reminder of the sacrifice of
the martyrs who died for the country in the freedom movement and the
succeeding wars for the defence of sovereignty of their country.
Thereafter he/she reaches the main dais at Rajpath to join other
dignitaries, subsequently the President arrives along with the chief
guest of the occasion. They are escorted on horseback by the President's Bodyguard.

The Beating Retreat
ceremony officially denotes the end of Republic Day festivities. It is
conducted on the evening of 29 January, the third day after the Republic
Day. It is performed by the bands of the three wings of the military,
the Indian Army, Indian Navy and Indian Air Force. The venue is Raisina
Hills and an adjacent square, Vijay Chowk, flanked by the North and
South block of the Rashtrapati Bhavan (President's Palace) towards the
end of Rajpath.

The Chief Guest of the function is the President of India
who arrives escorted by the (PBG), a cavalry unit. When the President
arrives, the PBG commander asks the unit to give the National Salute,
which is followed by the playing of the Indian National Anthem, Jana Gana Mana,
by the Army developed the ceremony of display by the massed bands in
which Military Bands, Pipe and Drum Bands, Buglers and Trumpeters from
various Army Regiments besides bands from the Navy and Air Force take
part which play popular tunes like Abide With Me, Mahatma Gandhi's favourite hymn, and Saare Jahan Se Achcha at the end.

This
Republic Day, our Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi invited US President Mr. Obama to
be the 1st US President to grace the occasion as Chief Guest.

A salute of 21 guns and the unfurling of the Indian National Flag by Dr.
Rajendra Prasad heralded the historic birth of the Indian Republic on
that day. Thereafter 26th of January was decreed a national holiday and was recognised as the Republic Day of India.

The Constitution gave the citizens of India the power to choose
their own government and paved the way for democracy. Dr. Rajendra
Prasad took oath as the first President of India at the Durbar Hall in
Government House and this was followed by the Presidential drive along a
five-mile route to the Irwin Stadium, where he unfurled the National Flag.
